Captivating read from the get-go
I really enjoyed this book, meticulous research must have been done to carry off a crime set in and around the Vatican, demonstrating knowledge of the administration, the buildings, the hierarchy and the tensions between the various factions within the Catholic Church. But also the theology to weave such an intriguing set of arguments and counter arguments within the who-done-it plot. I wasn’t surprised to learn that it took the author ten years to complete! Had me motivated to read it from start to finish.
A tremendous read and not a religious book at all, in spite of what potential readers might think reading the title and what I’ve written here.
